How many tetras do u have?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
oh ho! i didnt see that! thanks :)
 
I would Change the title to How many Tetras With Discus, so they wont get confused, anyway I currently have none with my Discus I have 3 Wild Rummynoses and 1 Penguin Tetra ( I know the penguin needs family but he was my cycling fish) with my Angelfish. My Discus seem to like EATING tetras instead of befriending them....:(

Really! I would of never of thought Discus would eat tetras. I thought they were good tank mates.

It's rare but not unheard of. It's mostly the angels that have quite a record for this predation.
 
I have 30(or so) rummy nose and 20(or so) Black neons. I personally feel that a large number of small fish is important. They eat all of the little pieces of beef heart that the discus have no interest in before it gets all over the tank. So they help keep the tank in better condition.

Agreed. We have small/medium tetras in all of our discus tanks. The ususal prescription in red turq. tanks is cardinals, rummynose, and silver hatchets.
Creates a good color compliment.
